Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2001-32194 filed with the Korea Industrial Property Office on Jun. 8, 2001, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a cathode ray tube (CRT), and more particularly, to a beam-index-type CRT that can optimize light reception efficiency of index light generated on a screen.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Generally, a color CRT is designed to realize an image by electron-beams emitted from an electron gun and scanning a phosphor screen deposited with red R, green G, and blue B phosphors. As the CRT is not costly and provides a clear image, it is widely used as a TV and a computer monitor.
- However, such a CRT is composed of a large number of parts, such as a color selection apparatus to select red R, green G, and blue B electron beams corresponding to the R, G, and B phosphors, and an inner shield to shield the electron beams from outer magnetic fields such as geomagnetism. In addition, when a shadow mask of the color selection apparatus is thermally expanded by electron beams within a high current range, the color purity of the CRT is deteriorated.
- Therefore, in recent years, a beam-index-type CRT that does not use the shadow mask and the inner shield has been proposed. That is, the beam-index-type CRT has a phosphor screen on which index stripes for color selection are formed and an index light detector is mounted on a funnel. When a ray of the electron beam emitted from an electron gun excites a corresponding index stripe to generate the index light, the index light detector detects the index light to synchronize an index signal with a color signal, thereby realizing the desired color.
- As the shadow mask is not used, electron beam mis-landing, caused by doming of the shadow mask, is prevented. In addition, as only a single electron beam ray is used to realize the color image, mis-convergence caused by a plurality of electron beams can be also prevented.
- However, the phosphor should be precisely designed in its size so that the electron beam does not strike an undesired phosphor when a ray of an electron beam strikes a pixel of the phosphor, and the landing angle of the electron beam to a periphery of the screen should not be inclined.
- In addition, as the location of the electron beam is controlled under the index signal, the definition of the image, the index light generated in the index stripe, should be effectively detected. That is, the light reception rate should be high. The light reception rate is highly affected by where the index light detector is mounted on the funnel.
- More specifically, when the index light detector is mounted in the vicinity of the neck, although the index light generated in the index stripe provided on the center of the phosphor screen is effectively detected, the index light generated in the index stripe provided on the periphery of the phosphor screen is not effectively detected as the distance from the detector to the index stripe is far and the phosphors in the periphery area are close to the range out of the viewing angle of the detectors.
- On the contrary, when the index light detector is mounted in the vicinity of a corner of the funnel, although the index light generated in the index stripe provided on the periphery of the phosphor screen is effectively detected, the index light generated in the index stripe provided on the center of the phosphor screen is not effectively detected as the distance from the detector to the index stripe is far and the phosphors in the periphery area are close to the range out of the viewing angle of the detectors.
- For the above-described reason, Japanese Laid-open patent Nos. Sho 52-87356 disclose a beam-index-type CRT in which even numbers of index light detectors are mounted on the funnel symmetrically centering around a tube axis, and Sho 62-216138 disclose a beam-index-type CRT in which plural index light detectors are mounted on the funnel.
- However, even though plural index light detectors are mounted on the funnel, mounting locations of the detectors to more effectively detect the index light generated on the index stripes provided on both the center and periphery of the phosphor screen are not accurately proposed.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a beam-index-type cathode ray tube (CRT) that can optimize the light reception rate of the index light generated on the center and periphery of the phosphor screen.
- The foregoing and other objects of the present invention may be achieved by providing a beam-index-type CRT comprising a vacuum tube defined by a panel and a funnel having a neck; a phosphor screen provided with index stripes to provide color selection, the phosphor screen being formed on an inner surface of the panel; an electron gun mounted inside the neck to emit electron beams toward the phosphor screen; a deflection yoke mounted around the neck; a transparent light reception window provided on the funnel; a detector to generate an index signal by condensing index light generated from the index stripes through the light reception window; and an index circuit to transmit a signal obtained by synchronizing the index signal with a color signal, wherein when a diagonal length on the outer surface of the funnel is “d”, the center of the transparent light reception window is provided at a location within a range of 0.1-0.3 d along the outer surface of the funnel from a corner of a seal edge of the funnel.
- In an embodiment of the present invention, the light reception window is provided on each of four connecting lines that respectively connect corners of a seal edge of the funnel to the neck.
- Further, an embodiment of the present invention provides that the light reception window is provided at a location within a range defined by rotating the connecting lines by 0-30° clockwise or counterclockwise.
- The foregoing and other objects of the present invention may also be achieved by providing a beam-index-type CRT comprising a vacuum tube defined by a panel and plural funnels each having a neck; a phosphor screen provided with index stripes to provide color selection, the phosphor screen being formed on an inner surface of the panel; an electron gun mounted inside each of the necks to emit electron beams to the phosphor screen; a deflection yoke mounted around each of the necks; a transparent light reception window provided on each of the funnels; a detector to generate an index signal by condensing index light generated from the index stripes through the light reception windows; and an index circuit to transmit a signal obtained by synchronizing the index signal with a color signal, wherein when a diagonal length on the outer surface of each of the funnels is “d”, each center point of the light reception windows is provided on a location within a range of 0.1-0.3 d from a corner of a seal edge of each funnel.
- In this embodiment, the phosphor screen is divided into at least two regions, and plural funnels corresponding to the divided regions are provided.

- Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below in order to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a beam-index-type CRT according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 illustrates a sectional view of FIG. 1.
- As illustrated in the figures, a cathode ray tube is formed of a vacuum tube10 having a
panel 10 a defining a front screen, afunnel 10 b connected to a rear end of thepanel 10 a, and aneck 10 c connected to a rear end of thefunnel 10 b. - Formed on an inner surface of the
panel 10 a is aphosphor screen 12 having red R, green G, andblue B phosphors 12 a. Each of thephosphors 12 a is formed in a stripe-shape, and ablack matrix 12 b is formed between thephosphors 12 a. Theblack matrix 12 b and thephosphors 12 a are covered with an aluminum metal back 12 c. - Furthermore,
index stripes 12 d to transmit index signals are formed on thealuminum metal back 12 c to correspond to theblack matrix 12 b. - Mounted inside the
neck 10 c is anelectron gun 14 to emit electron beams toward thescreen 12. Adeflection yoke 16 is mounted around theneck 10 c to deflect the electron beams “B” emitted from theelectron gun 14. - As the CRT is an index type, a
light reception window 18 and adetector 20, to detect index light L generated from thestripes 12 d through thelight reception window 18, are mounted on thefunnel 10 b. Thedetector 20 comprises a condensing plate (not shown) to convert light signals, generated on theindex stripes 12 d, from a range of near-ultraviolet to long-wave light signals and to transmit the converted light signals using its reflecting property, and a photosensitive diode (not shown) mounted on one side of the condensing plate to receive the converted light signals from the condensing plate and convert the received light signals into electrical signals. - At this point, the index signals of the photosensitive diode are transmitted to an
index circuit part 22, which transmits accurate color signals obtained by synchronizing the index signals with color signals to theelectron gun 14. - In a 29″-CRT with a deflection angle of 110°, the length of the outer surface of the funnel in a horizontal direction X is 600 mm, the length of the same surface in the vertical direction Y is 420 mm, and the length of the same surface in the diagonal direction Z is 720 mm.
- The shortest length from the center on the outer surface of the
funnel 10 b to a corner of aseal edge 10 b′ is about 350 mm, which may be varied according to a design deflection angle. That is, in a CRT having a maximum deflection angle of 110°, the shortest length is 340 mm. - Accordingly, due to the shape of the corner of the
seal edge 10 b′ of thefunnel 10 b, the location where thelight reception window 18 can be located is limited to a range of 50-250 mm from the corner of theseal edge 10 b′ in the diagonal direction Z. This will be described in more detail in connection with the outer shape of the funnel hereinafter. - When the diagonal length on the outer surface of the
funnel 10 b is “d” (d=720 mm), since thelight reception window 18 may be located in a range of 50-250 mm from the corner of theseal edge 10 b′ in the diagonal direction Z of the funnel, the location of thelight reception window 18 is limited to a range of 0.07-0.35 d. However, when considering the design of the funnel, the range may be varied according to the diameter of thedeflection yoke 16 and the curvature of thefunnel 10 b. - FIG. 3 illustrates an index light intensity generated on the center and periphery of the screen of a 29″-CRT having a deflection angle of 110°, and FIG. 4 illustrates a light reception rate of index light generated on the center and periphery of the screen of the 29″-CRT having a deflection angle of 110°. The test was conducted with respect to index light detected through a
signal detector 20 and alight reception window 18. - When the
light reception window 18 and thedetector 20 are provided on a location at a distance of 50 mm in the diagonal direction from the corner of theseal edge 10 b′ of thefunnel 10 b, the light intensity of the index light generated on the center of the phosphor screen 12 (hereinafter referred as “center index light”) is remarkably lower than that of the index light generated on the periphery of the phosphor screen 12 (hereinafter referred as “periphery index light”). When thelight reception window 18 and thedetector 20 are provided on a location at a distance of 250 mm in the diagonal direction from the corner of theseal edge 10 b′ of thefunnel 10 b, the light intensity of the periphery index light is remarkably lower than that of the center index light. When thelight reception window 18 and thedetector 20 are provided on a location at a distance of 100-200 mm in the diagonal direction from the corner of theseal edge 10 b′ of thefunnel 10 b, the light intensity difference between the periphery index light and the center index light is remarkably reduced when compared with the above. - In FIG. 3, it is illustrated that when the
light reception window 18 and thedetector 20 are provided at a location at a distance of 150-200 mm in the diagonal direction from the corner of theseal edge 10 b′ of thefunnel 10 b, the central index light intensity is higher than the periphery index light intensity. However, the central index light is detected by other detectors mounted on the outsides of the other three light reception windows. - Accordingly, an embodiment of the present invention provides that the
light reception window 18 and thedetector 20 mounted on a location within a range where the periphery index light intensity is detected to be higher than the central index light intensity is desired. According to tests performed, these results have been determined to be achieved with thelight reception window 18 and thedetector 20 provided on a location within a range of 100-150 mm in the diagonal direction from the corner of theseal edge 10 b′ of thefunnel 10 b. When considering this result in connection with the length (d=720 mm) in the diagonal direction Z of thefunnel 10 b, thelight reception window 18 and thedetector 20 are preferably provided on a location within a range of 0.14 d-0.21 d from the corner of theseal edge 10 b′. - FIG. 5 illustrates an intensity of the index light generated on the center and periphery of the screen of a 29″-CRT having a deflection angle of 120°, and FIG. 6 illustrates a light reception rate of index light generated on the center and periphery of the screen of the 29″-CRT having a deflection angle of 120°. Likewise, these tests were conducted with respect to index light detected through a
signal detector 20 and a singlelight reception window 18. - Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, when the
light reception windows 18 are provided on a location at a distance of 150-250 mm in the diagonal direction Z from the corner of theseal edge 10 b′ of thefunnel 10 b, the light intensity difference between the periphery index light and the center index light is remarkably reduced. Since thelight reception window 18 provided on a location within a range where the periphery index light intensity is detected to be higher than the central index light intensity is desired, it is most effective to provide thelight reception window 18 on a location at a distance of 150-200 mm in the diagonal direction Z from the corner of theseal edge 10 b′ of thefunnel 10 b. - As described above, it is noted that the most optimal location of the light reception window applied for the CRT having the deflection angle of 120° is slightly shifted toward the center of the funnel since the angle between the inner surface of the
panel 10 a and thedetector 20 is slightly reduced as the deflection angle is varied. Accordingly, when considering the above results in connection with the length (d=720 mm) in the diagonal direction Z of thefunnel 10 b, it is preferable that thelight reception window 18 is provided on a location within a range of 0.21 d-0.28 d from the corner of theseal edge 10 b′ with a deflection angle of 120°. - The following Table 1 illustrates the index light intensity of the center/periphery at a light reception window applied to a 25″-CRT having a deflection angle of 105° according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Light reception Length of outer surface of funnel in diagonal direction (mm) rate (% 50 100 150 200 250 Center 7 26 71 81 93 Periphery 100 55 39 23 5 - In the above embodiment, although the light reception window is provided on a line CL connecting the
seal edge corner 10 b′ and theneck 10 c, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the light reception window may be provided within a range which is defined by rotating the line CL clockwise or counterclockwise. - The following Table 2 illustrates a light reception rate of the periphery index light when the
light reception window 18 is provided on a location where the line CL is rotated by 10°, 20° and 30° clockwise or counterclockwise. As illustrated in Table 2, it is noted that thelight reception window 18 may be provided on a location within a range defined by rotating the line CL by 30° clockwise or counterclockwise. The light reception rate illustrated in Table 2 is obtained when thelight reception window 18 and thedetector 20 are provided at a distance of 100 mm from the corner and when the light reception rate obtained when thelight reception window 18 and the detector are provided on the line CL is set at 100%.Rotation angle CRT size (inch) 10° 20° 30° 25″ 98% 93% 90% 29″ 97% 91% 85% - As described above, an embodiment of the present invention provides that the light reception window is provided at a location within a rage of 0.1 d-0.3 d in the diagonal direction from the corner of the seal edge of the funnel. In addition, the light reception window may be provided at a location within an angle range defined by rotating the line CL by 0-30° clockwise or counterclockwise.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate a beam-index-type CRT according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which the CRT is a multi-neck CRT having plural electron guns.
- As illustrated in the drawings, the
phosphor screen 24 is divided into at least two regions (four regions in this embodiment), and theelectron guns 26 are provided corresponding to the divided screen regions. The electrons emitted from each of theelectron guns 26 are directed to the corresponding regions. - Describing in more detail with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, four funnels28 b, each having a
neck 28 c, are integrally connected to a rear end of apanel 28 a, thereby defining atube 28. Anelectron gun 26 is mounted on each of thenecks 28 c around each of which adeflection yoke 30 is mounted. - In addition, each of the
funnels 28 b is provided with alight reception window 32 and adetector 34 to detect index light from index stripes 24 d. In this embodiment, thelight reception windows 32 are provided at a location defined by the concept described in the above embodiments. That is, for eachfunnel 28 b, when the length of the outer surface of thefunnel 28 b in the diagonal direction Z is “d′”, thelight reception window 32 is provided at a location within a range of 0.1-0.3 d′ in the diagonal direction from a corner of aseal edge 28 b′ of thefunnel 28 b. In addition, thelight reception window 32 may be provided on a location within a range defined by rotating a line connecting the corner of theseal edge 28 b to the neck by 0-30° clockwise or counterclockwise. - The
reference characters - In operation, the electron beams emitted from each
electron gun 26 are directed to the corresponding region of thephosphor screen 24, thereby realizing an image. At this point, the index light generated on the index stripes 24 d is detected by thedetector 34 provided at the corresponding region. - That is, the
electron guns 26 simultaneously emit electron beams to the dividedscreen 24 to realize the image. At this point, the index signals required to operate each of theelectron guns 26 are generated when thedetectors 34 detect the index light from the index stripes 24 d of the dividedscreen 24. - Although a few embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
